The paper studies intra-species diversity in microbial communities by competing gut strains, finding strong selection and coexistence due to biotic interactions.

This study investigates gut microbiome colonization dynamics after antibiotic use, finding prolonged delays in microbial transmission and ecological barriers to colonization.

The paper analyzes genetic circuits for dosage control in microbial populations using the Lux quorum sensing system and demonstrates the effects of negative feedback and degradase activity on circuit robustness.

This study identifies affl-2, a C. elegans ortholog of the human AF4/FMR2 family, as a regulator of heat shock induced gene expression.
